How much rolled steel did the US produce in 2004 compared to 1974....
The Federal Reserve stats have metal production up since '74. It's been going up for the past few years too, though it still isn't back up to the pre 9/11 peak.
That's all well and good, but IMHO the US has greater strengths than steel. During the Iraq war, Saddam had more steel (tanks) and we had more information (AWACS).
